BritManToo Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 1 hour ago, bangkokairportlink said: How can they be so retarded ?! They've been selling openly for the past 4-5 years, maybe longer. I went there in 2019, several other places selling joints to smoke with your beer. And yet more restaurants selling pizza with cannabis, aka Happy Pizza. One restaurant was even named 'Happy Pizza', with cannabis on the menu as a topping. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickelbeer Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 This is what happens when the cops interpret the law. The status of Cannabis remains in a gray area. IT has never actually been "legal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaiyaTH Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) I used to be friends with the owner, he is Danish, amazing place with up to 30 different types of weed and hash. Strange they closed now, maybe due to the food, they used to run openly for like 5 years already and it was no secret to the police across the street either.

Nickelbeer Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I wish they would make up their minds on whether cannabis is legal or illegal in Cambodia. It has inhabited a gray area for many years where it is allowed as a garnish for food. This is the origin of the "Happy Pizza" places. In addition to the pizza I ordered, I was offered a bag of weed to smoke, but I didn't bite. Many cases of stuff being sold and then the buyer is arrested after he leaves the premises. If there is any jail worse than a Thai jail, it would have to be in Cambodia. I'll stick with the pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
